What can you expect, though.  I mean, look at what prices have done:  The American Dollar hist par with the Canadian and everybody shouts for equal prices...  now, the dollar is back down and we're surprised when prices go back up?  It's not their fault for wanting to make a profit... 

Yes except it took about 2 years for the prices to come down, and what 6 months for them to go back up?

Well, I never said it was fair  :wink:

That's just the way businesses work.  And, when the dollar hits parity again, it'll take another year of consumer outrage to get prices to drop.  But, that's when we take our money State-side for the better deals.

Better yet...we organize an angry mob and storm Toys R Us, I have the torches! Who will bring the pitchforks?

I've heard a lot of complaints about the DVD pack Lady Jaye's face. I just don't know what the fuss is about. When I look at that figure, I see the best Lady Jaye we've ever had.
I just don't think she looks feminine enough.  The blank expression doesn't help much, either... :-

She turns me on  :shifty:

I love pretty much everything IG, but I'm gonna have to wait until I see these on the shelves before I can pass judgment.

How much do the arctic and desert assault squads or any of them other set like that cost? I have not seen them in my area yet, Are they tru exclusive?

They are on line orders but I have seen them at my local comic shop. They retail from around $32.00 - $45.00 depending where you get them.

32$ is cheap! I think i paid 70$+tax for my set from goldenagetoys

Hey boys,

Just got off the phone with my buddies and we're not sure if we're gonna make it down to the show on account of the snowstorm.

If I make it down I'll find you guys.

I just got in my first order of DVD battle packs from Goldenagetoys, Arise Serpentor and Pyramid of Darkness, and these are some of the coolest toys I have seen in years. From the second I got the box in hand I couldn't wait to rip it open (gently) and watch the DVD while playing with the figs.

Seriously good job hasbro!

I also got the arctic and desert assault squads and they look soooooo nice in the box that I've decided not to open them, If I could afford it i'd totally grab a couple more of these squads.
